Ano ba mas advisable:
1. Submit 'my health declaration' , then print referral letter, then lodge visa application,
then go for medicals after lodging visa application. Pwede ba ganito, if so ano answer
niyo sa question "have you done medicals in the past 6-12 months'? did you answer yes
eventhough wala pa nakapag actual medical?; kasi if you answer no then hindi hihingi
ng HAP ID yung questionnaire, di ba? Pero dapat pag nag submit ka ng "my health
declaration" ilagay sa visa application yung HAP ID galing sa my health declaration para
ma link nila yung medical sa visa application?
or
2. Submit 'my health declaration' , then print referral letter,then go for medicals and
lodge visa application only after medicals have been done
or
3. Lodge visa application, click on 'organize your health exam' link to print referral letter
